I'm looking at runpee.com's entry for TDKR (front page: [link] and their peetimes are weird. The first one looks like it runs the risk of cutting into a great chase scene. The second one is better, and if you read the details you shouldn't get confused, but a fair amount of plot gets unspooled there.

The third one? Dude? You can't pee then.

However I have no better ideas. At 2 hours and 44 minutes, there have to be at least two good pee breaks--is 4 minutes the average length you're looking for? Maybe during the second jail attempt? I'm not sure where that is in the timeline, though, and what else it's adjacent to.

I just saw The Amazing Spider-Man and I gotta say, at risk of causing a kerfuffle, I like it much more than TDKR. Andrew Garfield just killed it and I always love me some Emma Stone. Lots of humanity and humor in the script.

A hockey team!? Mr Freeze's minions are a HOCKEY TEAM?!?

Oh, wow. This is bad on so many levels. I'd heard the rumours, but they had to be exaggerating, right? I'm watching Batman and Robin for the first time, and it is SO BAD. My brother should be here. This movie needs to be mocked, mercilessly.

No, Mr Freeze, the dinosaurs were not killed by an ice age.

...Wait, his getaway car is a spaceship? How does that work?

Mr Freeze's wings are surprisingly... dainty. Rather like a cross between a butterfly and a cyberman.

Oh dear. The shot of Freeze running away from the Dynamic Duo reminds me of nothing more than that slurpee demon from "That Old Gang of Mine".

Oh look, it's Poison Ivy! And she's... surprised that she couldn't crossbreed a venomous snake with an orchid. Apparently the part of Poison Ivy will be played by my sister at age six.

Ah. She's doing it so that plants will be protected from the thoughtless ravages of man, and will gain the ability to fight back like animals. Because that's worked so well for the animals. Note to self: purchase Doctor Who and the Seeds of Doom.

Is -- Is that Lex Luthor's father? Oh. He's created Bane. No, my mistake, he's created a squishy stress ball in the shape of a heavily muscled luchador.

The DVD is skipping here. Did people keep pausing at this point? Is this a popular scene? I am imagining an audience of people gesturing at mousy Uma Thurman and posable Bane and saying, "Now kiss!"

Huh. The movie has surprised me. It's gone from outlandish (and occasionally offensive) caricatures to becoming rather dull.

Who are you expecting to go off on you, Scrappy? I don't see anything contentious in your post (well, other than the claim it's contentious).

i'm looking forward to seeing Spiderman. i saw Batman on saturday and while i liked it i think i've come to find i'm more of a Marvel girl. i like my superheroes sarcastic, not emo.

however, i am going to see again tomorrow night in IMAX to revel in the awesomeness that is JGL.

When you need people who are good at violence and operating in icy cold conditions, where else would you go for recruiting?

Not REALLY go off, ita. More of a Spidey vs. Bats move kinda throwdown.

I loved Spider-Man! It was the Spidey movie of my dreams, truly. I had no idea what to expect going in -- I didn't really know anything about Andrew Garfield -- and it was marvelous. (Sally Field always has a Jim Carrey effect for me -- she never disappears into her character for me, but she came off as sweet and Aunt May-ish, so I was fine with that.)

I think some plot lines were dropped, which was a little confusing, but with a sequel obviously coming, I'm okay with that. (Assuming those dropped plot lines get addressed.)

But really, I just loved it with a big uncomplicated joy. Much like Avengers, which snuck in and stole my heart. I mean, REALLY. I knew I'd love Avengers, but not like this.

Batman is...complicated and gritty and certainly not *fun.* But I wasn't expecting uncomplicated fun. Tonally, it was what I expected, and I loved what it did.

And now I'm out of movies to look forward to for the summer. Boo.

(Avengers DVD on September 25!)
